I understand asking for the "best method" is a little useless considering everyone is different, but I thought I would ask anyway in order to gain a general sense of where to go from here.

I wouldn't quite call myself a lucid dreamer, but I have done a lot of research and I have been having the odd lucid dream for a number of months now. I guess what I am really trying to attempt to do is gain some consistency with lucid dreams.

I understand that the WILD is generally the easiest method, but I am having troubles with it. My sleeping patterns are extraordinarily inconsistent because of my insomnia, so it's difficult for me to get the timing right. Generally the alarm will go off either before or after REM sleep, and I usually wake several times before and after REM.

For these reasons, I am trying to find a lucid induction method that will work for me. I tried not moving in order to enter "mind awake, body asleep" but that seems to be more of an OBE method and I have yet to have this method work for me. I have also tried the FILD technique without wbtb but again I could not seem to get the timing right.

Much appreciation.
